Trump and MBS Cement U.S.–Saudi Reset With F‑35 Approval, Civil Nuclear Framework and Nearly $1 Trillion Pledge

Riyadh ties any recognition of Israel to verifiable steps toward a Palestinian state.

Overview

  • Mohammed bin Salman told reporters in the Oval Office that Saudi investments in the United States will rise from $600 billion to nearly $1 trillion.
  • President Donald Trump said the United States will sell F‑35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, a capability currently fielded in the region only by Israel.
  • Washington and Riyadh announced a framework for civil nuclear cooperation during the visit.
  • MBS called Jamal Khashoggi’s 2018 killing a painful and huge error, while Trump said the prince was not aware of it and described Khashoggi as extremely controversial.
  • Saudi participation in the Abraham Accords remains conditioned on a clear path to a two‑state solution, with MBS describing talks with Trump as constructive.
